How many people think the Ravens got a good deal by getting Willis McGahee?

Question

Im kinda disappointed they released Jamal Lewis but ever since he got convicted and spent time in the halfway house. He hasnt been the same. I think McGahee is probably going to rush for at least 1200 yards if he can stay healthy in the season. I actually like McGahee and hope he his a good career with the ravens.

Answer 1

I feel the same way about J.Lew and to see him sign with the Browns hurt even more but it was a mutual agreement and no love was lost, I would have liked to see him end his career in Baltimore though. Anyway, I hope McGahee works out well for us, he can be an upgrade over Jamal but I am holding reservation on the whole situation like I had to do with McNair last year. I think if he stays healthy, they could win it all next year. I think the Ravens got a good deal for him considering they didnt have to give up any first or second picks to get him. I actually think or atleast hope he will prove to the Bills that they should have kept asking for that first round pick for him.

Answer 2

Well, McGahee doesn't seem like the Raven's kind of running back. Lewis was a tough runner, a guy that would plow people over. McGahee seems like the kind of back that will try to dodge people, which may or may not be good in Baltimore's scheme. But for two 3rd round draft picks (one in 2007 and one in 2008) and a 7th round pick...the Ravens got a STEAL from Buffalo. I'd like to talk to their coaches and owners and just laugh at them for accepting a trade like that....Ravens were the winners in that trade, despire McGahee possibly not being the right back for the team....

Answer 3

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The Ravens got robbed. They could've gotten a back at least as good as McGahee in the 3rd this year or the next. If you don't want to listen to me, listen to Mr. Dillon. Judging by all those paternity suits filed against him, Willis only knows how to hit one hole....and it ain't on the football field! Also, the horrible oline crap is garbage....because the oline was just as bad throughout his entire career in Buffalo, until the 2nd half of last year, when his production sucked the most. Our line was decent then, and he still couldn't get it done...except against the Jets, but that's because of Vilma....

Answer 4

Real good deal and if anything the Bills are the ones who got ripped off cause they traded who I think was a good versitile player for draft picks. Remember OJ had tough starting seasons but started playing good. Willis was going to start shining but now will def shine at the ravens.

Answer 5

I do! Their offense is very good now. McGahee, who had to run behind a bad O-Line in Buffalo, will now reach his expectations. He'll definetely be one of leaders in Rushing YDs and TDs. He's going for 1,500 and 12.

Answer 6

I think it was a good deal. Id rather have McGahee than Lewis.

Answer 7

eh, he's pretty over rated in my opinion... not even a 1000 yard rusher last season (granted he only played 14 games)... i'm just not impressed with him at all..

him and jamal had similar numbers... different styles.. we'll see what happens.. but i'd bet he is a let down..

Answer 8

hes not as good as you guys think. i am a pats fan and i watched him alot in the seasons becasue he was in the pats division. he didnt look like an elite back like LJ or even gore. he doesnt impress me. he studder steps into the hole alot. He only had 910 yds last year..

Answer 9

lets see, 3 for 1, yeah brilliant, they may not be the best draft picks, but tom bradywas the 199th overall pick, and look at him now

Answer 10

mcgahee makes that whole team better.
